4. How many conferences should we have for each patient? Is there a frequency?

The rules leave the decision regarding frequency to the professional judgment of the PT.  The PT’s decision should be based on the condition of the patient, the practice setting, the experience and abilities of the PTA, and so on.  Not all patients or PTAs will require the same number or frequency of conferences.  The Board has not set a minimum number of conferences, or the frequency at which conferences should be held, believing that each PT is responsible for determining in each situation when a conference is necessary.  See the Board rules, §322.3(4) 11/06
